Yer Gonna Love This!!!!

Kitties!  Mom here!   I am going to ALL the stores on-line brick and mortar as they like to say...etc.  I want a hooded litter box and one with a door opening NOT over 8 inches tall from the floor..   

Lo and Behold!  One, as I was reading the description, said it was for either sex, singly or several at a time.!!!!!!!!!!!  I have never, not ever, never read such a stupid thing in my life!!

Meanwhile I can't see worth a dime.

  Been to the specialist and my eyes were dilated VERY much, more than standard to they could go back and see the retina.  I feel like I'm in the sun even while I am here in the house hours later.  I'll go to bed like this.  My pupils look like Katie's!  

Here I am as Mom sneaked this photo of me half an hour ago.  Mom is so glad I finally FINALLY came out of the bedroom and out from UTB!  I'm in a sunpuddle!!!  



See my little face with the checkerboard pattern mustache & chin?

Hey kitties, woofies, parents, who else besides my mom is reading this book?  

Who wants to exchange opinions about it with my mom as we read?  She'd love other opinions. 
Meow if you want to exchange thoughts...or woof if that's your language.

Me and Mom

Who knew that litter boxes would have to be explained to humans like that? No wonder the planet is in trouble.... 🙄

I do have John's book amongst my five or so dozen waiting to be read. (Not exaggerating. I'm reading as fast as I can. 😆)

Smooches to sweet Katie!

Hugs to you and Big eyes

What marvelous sun puddles, Katie! Hopefully your Mom's eyes will improve soon. Haven't read that book.

I like his blog so I will have to get the book. XO

Sometimes I wonder where people's brains are when they write this stuff up.

I hope the eyes go back to normal soon.

Katie, enjoy those sun puddles!

John Bellen said...

A litter-box for either sex? I didn't even know they buttoned on different sides...

I hope your mom's eyes quickly improve. What a load of nonsense was written for the description of the litter box. I don't have any of John Bellen's books yet as I have a lot that I bought when I was having treatment, but kept falling asleep from the anti nausea infusions. I thought I would be reading non stop for the 6 hours I was there, and ended up reading 4 or 5 pages! The books are on my to buy list once I have caught up a bit.

By the time I make this comment hopefully your eyes will have slept off the eye drops. I have read John's book. But it was so long ago when he published it that I really don't remember much about it. I'm sure you will enjoy it if your eyeballs keep working. Sweet Katie looks wonderful as always.

Mom hates having her eyes dialated. we'll have to check out that book.

When Seney needed help getting into the too tall litter box, we simply cut the
door down and used less litter. Maybe this is a possibility for you.

That is too funny about the litter box! What a crazy world.

meowmeowmans said...

That's the goofiest litterbox description ever, Katie and Mom! We're glad you came out fomr UTB for some sunpuddle lounging, Katie, and purr that mom's eyes get back to normal real soon. John has a new book? We will have to check it out. Hugs!

Charlee: "We didn't know there were litter boxes specifically for boy cats and girl cats, but now that I think about it, it makes sense. Nobody wants to share a litter box with stinky old Chaplin."
Chaplin: "Hey!"
Lulu: "Our Dada is wondering why that spy is having idylls instead of being out spying like he is supposed to ..."

Meezer's Mews & Terrieristical Woofs said...

Funny description of a litter box, LOL!
I don't have that book, but it looks interesting. i like that old fashioned picture on the cover.
You look quite comfy on your napping spot!
Hope your Mom's eyes feel much better by now!









Catscue Cat Mom said...

I'm thinking that ad for the litter box was NOT written by a Cat Person - how silly! Enjoy your sunpuddle pretty Katie.

dilation is blinding on a sunny day. love your new photos

The J-Cats said...

Katie, We hope your Mommy's eyes are better!
We haven't read this book yet. We checked it out on Amazon and thought we should get it on Kindle as we have next to no shelf space left, but then it turned out that this is the second book in the series, so we really should read the first book first. We think maybe we'll download both of them, they're on offer together for $5.98, which seems a good bargain.

My husband learned never to schedule eye appointments on the same day, a rough lesson. ~shakes head~ Be well!
